Call for Papers
Symposium on Trends in Intergenerational Mobility
To be published in Industrial Relations
A large and growing literature has examined the persistence of economic status across generations in many countries. With new data and better techniques a great deal has been learned about this topic. However, there is still much that is unknown about how intergenerational linkages between parents and their offspring might have changed over time. For example, is the United States becoming more or less economically mobile? Do other nations have different trends?
Changes over time in intergenerational mobility may help us understand more about the underlying factors (e.g. human capital, social networks, genetic and non-genetic characteristics) that cause an association in economic outcomes between parents and their children. To what extent have the factors that influence economic mobility been changing over time?
We welcome papers that examine how and why intergenerational linkages in economic status (broadly construed) might have changed in recent decades.
